Sr. Communications Manager

Our Mission

As humans, there are few things more exciting than meeting someone new. At Tinder, we’re inspired by the challenge of keeping the magic of human connection alive. With tens of millions of users, hundreds of millions of downloads, 2+ billion swipes per day, 20+ million matches per day, and a presence in 190+ countries, our reach is expansive—and rapidly growing.

We work together to solve complex problems. Behind the simplicity of every match, we think deeply about human relationships, behavioral science, network economics, AI and ML, online and real-world safety, cultural nuances, loneliness, love, sex, and more.

• Take the Lead: We don't ghost our work or each other. Just as users don't leave their matches hanging, we don't let each other down.
• Move Fast: We have a bias for action and urgency. Something that could be done tomorrow would be better if done today.
• Better Together: We keep connection at the heart of dating and at the heart of how we work. Just as our users are better when they connect with others, so are we when we collaborate.
• Real Talk: We say the hard thing the human way. Just as we ask our users to behave with kindness and candor in our community, we expect Team Tinder to do the same.
• Safety First: We act with integrity, transparency, and consistency so people feel safe—whether they're swiping, matching, or working alongside us.
• Spark Fun: We have fun to unlock creativity, fuel innovation, and help us build better experiences for daters.

Tinder is the most downloaded dating app in the world, and this is one of the most consequential product years in the company's history. Between IRL Events, Group Hangouts, a new visual identity, and a wave of features built to make dating feel more human, we’re not just shipping updates, we’re changing how people think about what Tinder is. This role exists to make sure the world notices.

There's never been a more exciting time to work 're doing something meaningful, helping people find their people, and this role sits right at the center of that story: translating product innovation into narratives that break through, backed by real data, told with real craft.

This is an opportunity to shape how Tinder shows up at the intersection of product and culture. You'll partner with Product, Product Marketing, Analytics, and Brand from the earliest stages of feature planning, not as someone who announces decisions already made, but as a communications partner in the room helping shape what the story is. You’ll also own the data side of the story yourself: spotting the angle inside a behavioral trend, getting it approved, and turning it into a pitch you take to press directly.

This role reports to the Head of Global Communications and operates from our New York office in a hybrid environment requiring in-office partnership 3x a week.
